Over the years, I have been part of key government initiatives within the National Revenue Authority. In 2017/2018, I was also part of a multi-million-dollar IT system project, called the Integrated Tax Administration System (ITAS). This system automates domestic tax collection, which involves the end-to-end process of domestic revenue administration. Amidst the challenges of the Covid-19 Pandemic, we were able launch in 2020, starting with the pilot, and then eventually rolled it out to all taxpayers even in the provincial areas of the country as well.
Adding Change Management to our project
At the early phase of project implementation, Change Management component was introduced within the project. The ITAS supplier brought in a change management lead to support us. She was a Certified Change Manager and introduced me to the Prosci® Change Management Certification.
I enrolled to the Prosci® Change Management Certification program to empower myself with the required skills to support project implementation and overcome challenges associated with the people side of change.
